<p>With all that's happening in the world you would be forgiven for not knowing that in less than three weeks (May 15th), Rust will be five years old! (since 1.0) I was wondering if we wanted to do some kind of "Five Years of Rust" post on the blog? Something that highlights the major changes and new features/projects that we've worked on.</p>

<p>Given the recent "Rust changes too fast" discourse, I think a good way to frame a blog post about major changes over the years might be to emphasize that 1.0 represented a promise of backwards compatibility and "enough features to get stuff done", not a "finished product" as such.</p>

<p>It might be good to try to balance "we have exciting changes we still want to make" against "we want Rust to reach a point of stability/maturity where major changes are rare."</p>
<p>I don't know if listing the specific major changes we still want to make would be a good way to do that. But I do think that there really are a fairly limited number of these types of major changes, and once they're finished, further changes to the language could be more minor, for several years.</p>
<p>I suppose I would define a "major change" here as "something that makes Rust _look_ different, in such a way that makes reading and understanding Rust more difficult for someone who is familiar with 'classic' Rust but not with the new feature." I think this is probably what people are primarily concerned about [citation needed] when they say that Rust is changing too fast.</p>
<p>The features that I think we definitely want that fit this description are:</p>
<ul>
<li>GATs</li>
<li>Const generics</li>
<li>specialization</li>
<li>finishing/stabilizing <code>const</code>-eval</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm not sure about others. Would the core language be essentially "finished" for the time being (module ergonomics improvements and other "minor" features) if we had those?</p>

<p>I think, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, Python could have done much better than they did with Python 3, and in particular, tried for a "within the same interpreter" approach to 2 and 3. But they didn't necessarily <em>know</em> that that would be such a problem.</p>

<p>One thing i personally would really really want to add to that feature list is some kind of structural typing, 1. To properly support generics over the tuples, and providing manipulation functions. 2. To stablize the <code>Fn*</code> traits. 3. Realizing the possibilities described in RFC2584.</p>
